X: Divine Intervention

Katie and I tried to forget about what had happened with her son and Mia as we ran along the road towards the town. She would steal the occasional glance at me, and quickly look forward again, with an almost undetectable blush on her cheeks. I was a fool to let my guard down in the shower like that, but what was done was done. It just seemed too soon at the moment. I just had to wait for the repercussions later. At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the road gave way to a small, old town. Despite being an Ohioan, I could not say for certain whether I knew the town or not. It seemed cramped from a distance, like it wasn't fit to handle the realities of the new world. It was as though it was crumbling from the newfound pressure.

We slowed to a walk and I stepped in line beside Katie. Brick buildings spanned on both sides of the main road. It seemed ghostly with no lights or sounds of cars. 'The Electric Types assigned to the electricity plants must be taking a break,' I jokingly thought. This was my first experience out in public in the new world that we lived in. Very few humans walked the streets; it was mainly just a plethora of Pokémon. The few humans that I saw were accompanied by other Pokémon and had these stoic looks plastered onto their face. However, it wasn't difficult to see right through their act. They were in pain and dying. All of them. As I stared at the other people, some of their Pokémon owners would give me warning looks. Some others simply glanced at me and went on with their business.

As we walked, more and more Pokémon began to glare at me. I noticed Katie getting more and more agitated by the stares we were attracting. One group in particular was walking towards us along the sidewalk. It was a Gardevoir, a Gothitelle, a Delphox, and at the head of them all, a huge Alakazam. He was very muscular, as if he had used steroids all his life. The three other Pokémon all clung to his arms, finding somewhere to hold onto him. I looked around at the other Pokémon walking around. They were all looking at the four approaching Pokémon. Some stared with wide, knowing eyes while others had smirks on their faces. These Pokémon knew what was coming, but Katie and I didn't.

As they approached, the Alakazam huffed in a deep voice, "Excuse me ladies, but I think we have a catch for our business."

With that, they all sprung into action. The Alakazam grabbed me as the female Pokémon jumped Katie. I tried to crawl free of the Alakazam's grasp to help Katie, but it was no use. His grasp was as strong as a steel trap. I watched in horror as the females used powerful attacks on her. She was fuming in rage and she released a powerful last-ditch Aura Pulse, which knocked out all of the girls. It shocked the Alakazam that such a beautiful Pokémon could deliver such a powerful attack, but he quickly snapped out of it and used Teleport. The last thing I saw of Katie was her running towards me, with her paw stretched outward, beckoning me to take it.

None of the bystanders tried to help. I am unsure whether they didn't try because they didn't care, or because they knew that it was no use.

We reappeared at the entrance to a warehouse. The Alakazam dragged me through the doors. The inside was decorated interestingly. It had a strangely romantic undertone by the way the lighting was and the reddish paint that was used on the walls.

The Alakazam said, "Hey, Luke! I got a fresh one for ya!"

An equally muscular Lucario entered the main lobby room with us and said, "Ooh, you got a good one! Thanks John, the money won't be the only tip you'll be getting tonight…"

The Alakazam grew a slight boner at his boss's implications. John handed me to Luke and left, presumably for his next 'catch.'

The Lucario said to me in a deep, seductive tone, "Welcome to PokéPalace, where all sexual fantasies come to life. Here, you will be a sex slave. Don't you worry, you will learn to love it. Oh, and if you get a lot of tips, I repay you personally at the end of the day."

I knew what he meant by that.

As he led me to my room, he said, "Y'know? I used to be straight, but a bitch left me when I needed her most. Now, guys are the only dependable people. Fuck women."

I made a face of pure disgust at him, and he most definitely saw it, but he ignored me.

Once we got the room, he pushed me inside, saying, "Alright, your first customer will be arriving soon, so get ready for a fun ride."

He snickered to himself and closed the door, locking it and leaving me inside. I didn't know what to do. I looked at my surroundings nervously. It resembled a bedroom, but it was a lot more 'romantic' than a normal one. There were some torture objects and bondage items beside the bed on a nightstand. I was not fond of that at all. I quickly went over to the items and shoved them all under the bed, in an attempt to hide them. The seriousness of the situation hit me. I was about to be raped. Repeatedly.

A sudden jolt on the door to the room made me jump.

A Gallade stepped in and said, "Alright, I got fifteen minutes with you, so don't waste my time, do you understand?"

I slowly nodded and tears formed in my eyes. He noticed and said, "When I am done with you, those will be tears of pleasure!"

He grabbed me by the waist and threw me onto the bed, pinning me down with my upper body propped up on the headboard of the bed. It all happened so quickly that I was in a confused daze. He climbed on top of me, standing on the bed. That's when I saw it. He was already a little aroused. He moved his slightly erect dick closer and closer to my mouth.

I turned my head to avoid his cock, and it ended up poking the side of my cheek. He screamed, "Suck it, you sonofabitch! Or else I'll kill you!"

I did as I was told and took it in my mouth. I was taking him in slowly, trying not to shove his long dick down my throat. It felt almost rubbery and very veiny. It was a texture that I absolutely despised. He tasted like a dirty sock and I wanted to gag just from that alone. He did make me gag, however, when he thrusted his entire length down my throat. He wasted no time pulling out of my mouth to his tip to admire my saliva on his dick. He smirked widely and launched his cock back down my throat. This time, he let out a loud grunt-like moan.

During his relentless pounding of my mouth, he shouted in a deep, commanding voice, "Take it all in, bitch! I'm your master! Do you understand me?"

I cried fiercely, as I gave the Gallade pleasure. He moaned—I sobbed. There was nothing else to it.

"I said, do you understand me, bitch?" His thrusts became unbearably violent as he stretched my throat out, due to his girth.

I quickly nodded, accidentally bending his dick as it was in my mouth, to which he gave a gruff moan. He gripped my neck and began to choke me. My face grew red from the lack of oxygen as my consciousness began to fade.

He screamed, "Take it all, you whore!" As he thrusted harder and deeper than ever before, sending his tip far into my throat.

He came, spewing his cum deep into my mouth and into my stomach. His tip was already so far down that I didn't even taste it. He pulled out after finishing and I gasped for breath. I gave him a horrified and disgusted look as I sobbed uncontrollably.

He scoffed and said, "What the fuck?! Enjoy my dick you ungrateful fuck! I still have a couple of minutes, so I might as well do it again if you are gonna be that way!"

He forced his dick back into my mouth. This time, I tasted his cum, as he still had some left over on his tip from the last round. This time, he gripped and pulled my hair as he bobbed my head up and down his shaft. My eyes were glued shut and I just tried to act like I wasn't there. But I was, and I felt his dick thrusting in and out of me. I could feel it pulsating and throbbing on my tongue. He was close again already. He began to buck his hips forward and backward in unison to him jerking my head up and down on his shaft. His moans grew long and drawn out as he quickly approached his climax.

"You're mine, you fucking whore! You're my bitch and that's all you ever will be! So take. My. Cum!"

He erupted in my mouth, forcing me to taste his cum. It was very salty and no matter how much I tried to swallow, some of it would stick to my tongue and teeth. Its abundant warmth lingered wherever it touched. It was disgusting. Before he finished he pulled out and shot strings of cum all over my body. It was like taking a bath in syrup.

The Gallade admired his work, smirked at me, and said, "Little human slut." With that, he left, with his slight erection obviously showing.

The rest of the day is too hazy for me to recall.

During the night, I laid in the bed. The room reeked of sex. I was sore, tired, and crying. Never had I felt more like an object in my life. None of these Pokémon respected our lives. They were too happy to be on the top of the food chain for once. There was nothing I wanted more than to die. I then began to think of the items that I shoved under the bed. I remembered that one of them was something along the lines of a metal stake. I sobbed to myself as I slithered off of the bed. In the darkness, I groped around underneath the bed. I felt a long, sharp, and cold object and picked it up out of the pile. I had found what I was looking for. I got up from the floor and sat on the side of the bed. I laid the spike next to me on the bed and held my head in my arms. My body slouched and I cried. I bawled. It was the end of the line for me. I just wished that my end would have been with Katie.

I thought in my head, 'I love you, Katie. Please remember me and work for the future integration between our species. Please do that for me. Goodbye.'

I picked up the spike and held it in front of my chest. I wound up my arms and briskly moved the spike towards my heart. Right before the metal pierced my skin, a beautiful voice filled my mind.

She said, 'Wait, Richard! I'm here to save you!'

Katie was too late to save me. The spike entered my body and made it to my heart. My chest was caked in blood and I leaned back on the bed, waiting for my breathing to stop and death to claim my soul. Right as my vision began to fade, Katie burst through the wall. She ran over to me, ripped the spike out, and pumped my body with Aura. She was crying. The last thing that I heard was her whispering to me.

She whispered, "Please. I don't want to lose you too."

My eyes were blinded by white. The same white that filled my eyes during the vortex blast. And with that, I died.

I was taken to a blank canvas. I felt a weightless sensation in my body. I looked around me, just to see a vast expanse of plain whiteness. I waited for a second, until a large beast appeared in front of me. He was huge, with yellow-tipped feet and an X-shaped gold emblem protruding from his waist. He was mostly white other than that. His green and red eyes radiated true power.

I looked up at him and simply said, "Hello, Arceus. Long time, no see."

He smiled and replied, "Hello, Richard. What brings you to my kingdom so soon?"

My expression changed to pure sadness and I told him, "Terrible things have happened to me since we last spoke. I killed myself, Arceus." I began to cry.

He said, "Listen, Richard. I do not hate you for what you have done. I know that your heart is pure and bright. Unlike Mew, I believe in our coexistence, much like you do. That is why I am willing to do something for you, but you must promise to fulfil your… our… dreams."

I looked up at him with tears filling my eyes and flooding my cheeks. I said, "Arceus, I am willing to do anything to make integration possible. I want a peaceful world."

He smiled and said, "Well, you can't do that up in Heaven, so I'm willing to give you life. By the way, I would not be able to do this if it weren't for that Lucario giving you her Aura. Be sure to thank her."

I gave him a huge smile of appreciation and said, "Thank you!"

He nodded and I began to glow. Before I was transported back to my body, he said, "Richard, do what you have to do to make it work."

I felt excited that I would be able to see Katie again. I told Arceus, "I will!" After that, my vision blacked out.

I groaned softly as I opened my eyes. I lifted my head up slowly and found that my chest showed no signs of being impaled. I was in the middle of the night and I was back in the meadow. Laying on my lower chest was the head of a beautiful Lucario. She had a frown on her face and her cheeks were covered in dried tears. She was clinging to the bloody spike and had her arms wrapped around it, almost hugging it. She slept soundly, as if she had passed out. I then noticed that my body was glowing a deep blue. She had pumped all of her Aura into me. She used all of her energy to save me. It could've killed her. My love for her exploded. I crawled out from under her, stood up, and picked her up off of the grass. Her Aura that she pumped into me made me feel super powerful, as my strength, my intelligence, my speed, my agility, and my love were on overdrive. As I carried her bridal-style, I sprinted back towards the farm. My feet flew on the pavement of the road and the wind blew my brown hair violently. I looked down at the Lucario's face. She was still asleep and visibly heartbroken. I knew that having no Aura must've been hurting her. She was still hugging the stake and would not let go of it. I picked up speed and rocketed towards the farm.

I made it to the driveway in a few minutes. I bursted through the front door, and ran to the stairs. I jogged up the stairs at an incredible speed, skipping three steps at a time. I shot through Katie's bedroom door and placed her gently on her bed. I checked her breathing. It was faint and slow. She was dying. I had to think of something fast. I ran down the stairs to the kitchen. The metal fridge was covered in magnets. I snatched all of them in my hands and then began to sift through every drawer in the room until I came upon what I needed; a pair of wireless earbuds. With my Aura strength, I cracked open the earbuds like peanuts and took the neodymium magnets out of them. I sprinted back to Katie. Her voice filled my thoughts, 'In the hands, wrists, knees, thighs, neck, and head, but the strongest place Aura is is the heart.' I placed countless fridge magnets on the important places of her body. Each magnet held in place, due to her being a Steel Type. I saved the powerful ones for last. I put one of the two neodymium magnets on her heart and the other on her forehead. After a few seconds, she grew a faint blue mist around her. It was working, but it obviously wasn't good enough.

I didn't notice the crowd start to form behind me. Brian, Noah, Mia, Laura, Jarod, Christina, Sarah, Jane, and Zandra were all in the room staring at the near-dead Lucario. At the head of the scared and worried spectators was Alex, Katie's little son. He had tears in his eyes. I went over and knelt in front of the Riolu.

I looked the poor child in the eyes and pleaded, "I know you cannot understand me, but please, Alex, help me save her." I was crying as well, as I knew my attempt was going to be futile.

The Riolu took his eyes off of me and looked back at his mother dying on the bed. Alex clenched his eyes shut and held his head. He looked like he was in pain from something, like a Psyduck. In his struggle, he began to glow white and everyone's attention turned to him. His legs stretched out and grew. His chest grew yellow fur and a large spike in the middle. His arms stretched out as well and developed slight muscles and paw spikes. His face matured and his eyes exploded with power. His ears grew taller and two more sensory bundles formed and paired with his pre-existing ones. Finally a black stripe formed atop his head, connecting to his 'mask.'

I stood up to be able to look at Alex's eyes again, to which he said, "Please move, Richard."

I did what I was told and he walked to his mother. He placed his palm atop the neodymium magnets and his mother's heart and forehead. He radiated blue and shot waves of Aura into his mother. After a few seconds he stopped and looked at his mother. The group and I gathered around her bed. Katie regained proper breathing and her eyes began to flutter. We all started to smile. I grabbed her hand and Alex grabbed her other. Katie opened her eyes and looked at me with a beautiful smile.

She whispered, "Richard, I thought I lost you."

I radiated happiness and told her, "You saved me, honey."

Alex glared at me for calling her that, but returned his gaze to his mother. Katie turned her attention to the figure next to her.

She gasped and exclaimed, "Oh my gosh! Alex? Is that you?"

Alex nodded and said, "Yes, mom, it's me."

Katie beamed with pride and said, "Look at you! You're all grown up! You are a Lucario now, sweetie!" Katie leaned upwards and pulled both her son and I into a hug. She whispered, "Thank you both. And Alex, I am so proud of you." She let us go, but kept holding our hands. She chuckled and said, "While everyone is here. I have an announcement to make," she looked up into my eyes, "Richard and I are together now. Please be open-minded about our relationship."

Katie and I both looked at everyone's faces, trying to see a response. They were all smiling. They all supported us. Even Alex was slightly smiling, which made me feel happy.

Jane spoke up, holding Cristina's hand, "Guys, we don't care who loves each other, just as long as there is love between you two. We all support you."

Katie brightened up and said, "Thank you all. Now, I really need some rest."

Everyone started clearing out of her room and I followed them out. As I reached the door, Katie called, "Richard, please stay with me tonight." Alex rolled his eyes and left as I closed the door.

I walked over to the bed and climbed in with Katie. I chuckled and said, "Your son has become quite the teenager."

She laughed and said, "Don't worry, he'll warm up to you."

I hoped so. I curled up to Katie, and she returned the gesture by cuddling into my chest.

I whispered to her, "We died."

She nodded and added, "But Arceus has a plan for us."

I smiled and asked, "So he spoke with you as well, huh?"

She nodded again and said, "He told me to protect you and support you at all costs. And I plan to."

I felt flattered. I then asked her, "Why did you keep the stake?"

She sighed and said, "I thought that it was all that would be left of you."

I smiled and said, "I love you Katie, but if it ever comes down to it, don't save me over yourself. This one time was enough for me."

She laughed faintly and said, "Don't kill yourself again, then."

I kissed her head (as well as the magnet) and said, "Thank you."

She replied with, "No, thank you."

It was silent for a few seconds until I spoke up, "Dammit, we forgot to get dinner."

She laughed and we both drifted to sleep in each other's embrace.
